Why is submission to Christ the King important for salvation?

As emphasized in the sermon, there is no salvation without bowing to King Jesus. Those who resist submitting to Him do so out of pride, believing that their own works are sufficient. However, true salvation begins with recognizing our inability to earn righteousness and yielding to Christ's authority. Romans 10:3 warns that many seek to establish their own righteousness rather than submitting to God’s righteousness. Submission involves approaching Christ in humility, recognizing Him as the sole source of mercy and salvation.
